What is the difference between applying for a Non-O visa based on marriage from an embassy and applying at local immigration in Thailand?

works like this

- enter on a tourist visa get stamped in for 60 days

during that time GO to your immigration office with your thai husband and get the hand out listing the requirements for getting the 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai

- when you have about a month or so left on your 60 day tourist stamp GO and apply for the 90 day Non-O, pay 2000baht

you'll get a receipt that says to come back in between 14 and 20 days

- go back get the Non-O visa and a new 90 day stamp inked in

THEN you wait until you have 30 days left on that stamp

- go apply for the year extension based on marriage for 1900baht (GET the sheet from your office listing those requirements when you go back to get the Non-O inked in because they're not the same as what you just used 😮 )

You will get a 30 day under consideration stamp

- go back on that date and they will ink in the year extension

if you want to you would buy a re-entry permit (single or multiple) after you get the extension so you could come in and out during that year and not lose your extension

That's how it works going from a 60 day tourist visa to first a Non-O 90 day visa and then a year extension based on marriage to a thai at your immigration office in country.

@Lloyd *******

the O/P appears to be a female which leads me to believe they are married to a thai male making NO proof of funds required inside the country to get the 9 day non-O or the year extension
